What are 404 errors?

404 errors are considered one of the most potential impediments in the way to successful
SEO. When a specific URL is renamed or becomes non-existent, any links connecting to that URL
would result in 404 errors.
 
The HTTP 404 Not Found Error means that the webpage you were trying to reach could not be found on the server. It is a Client-side Error which means that either the page has been removed or moved and the URL was not changed accordingly, or that you typed in the URL incorrectly.
 
The HTTP 404, 404 Not Found and 404 (pronounced "four oh four") error message is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) standard response code, in computer network communications, to indicate that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested.
 
The Error 404 "Page not found" is the error page displayed whenever someone asks for a page that’s simply not available on your site. The reason for this is that there may be a link on your site that was wrong or the page might have been recently removed from the site. As there is no web page to display, the web server sends a page that simply says "404 Page not found".
 
The 404 Error Page, known as "page not found," is an HTTP standardized status code that indicates an established connection with the server but an inability to find the page in question. Excessive 404 errors negatively impact a website's SEO and are lost revenue opportunities when the user does not ultimately navigate to the website.
 
404 is an error page which has been created to reduce the drop outs from the website. Once a user land on any web page which is not responding or a broken link rather than showing them a blank page, we can show the a custom error page and can place our important links over there.
 
The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server cannot be made at all.
 
Hi

The 404 or not found error message is an HTTP standard response code that indicates that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the request made to the server could not be found.

Web site hosting servers will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page, when a user tries to follow a broken or dead link

Hope this helps you.
